I thought of these little pants while in between sleep and consciousness. I've surprisingly gotten a few of my ideas this way. Not surprisingly, it tends to happen after I've been looking at clothes all day.

These are usually referred to as 'sailor pants'. They open on either side creating a sort of 'flap' in the front. The bottom of the legs are wide creating a 'trouser' look. Finally, I added a thick navy trim bias tape to the cuffs.

I used a navy seersucker material and dark navy buttons.

When put together, I think the look is so classic and nautical, hence the name.Many of you said that you would like to enter more giveaways, but have various issues with linking. Of course, I want anyone that is interested in entering a giveaway to be able to do so.

Therefore, from now on, giveaways can be entered in three ways:
1) By linking (to your blog, facebook, myspace, or any other site)
2) By leaving a comment without a link or
3) By linking and leaving a comment (this will be worth 2 entries which will better your chances of winning). Find more info under the FAQ page.

If you are leaving a link just use the 'create a link' at the bottom of this post or simply creating a post on your blog and including this link.If you use blogger just use the "create a link" link at the bottom of this post. If you don't use blogger, that's fine too. Just create a link on your page as you normally would and I will see it using Technorati.

I know the giveaway might be over already, and that being in Mexico probably won´t help my chances either...but i couldn´t help it, I posted, linked and went crazy over this beauty! Thanks for inspiring! Clauhttp://www.handmadeconamor.blogspot.com

I would give my front-row seat in Hades for the pattern. I am just getting back into sewing after decades of sabbatical ... now that I have three granddaughters and a grandson to sew for!!! Where / how could I secure a pattern?
